The Geek cliché

I was reading a blog from a guy who is a geek (almost everybody blogging can be considered a geek), and then found little details that have helped to build the geek cliché, this is, all the things that all the people think a geek does. So I here enumerate them:

Read a lot of trash in the web

A huge huge huge huge ego

Dislike about the stupid society

Have an open source hero ...

... talk tooooooo much about that hero

Talk about the online communities they are in

Hatting trolls but they themselves are trolls

Doing nothing for the community

* Fortunately I hadn't to see him in person, when he missed a Linux event in which I was.

Of course these are only the *features* a geek has while he's online. Is that a lie or not?
